Photos: Dangerous pothole fixed after ongoing complaints

After months of complaining over a dangerous pothole, drivers took their complaint to Channel 4 Action News and a few hours later, the pothole was fixed.

The pothole was at the intersection of McKnight Road and Johnanna Drive, near the entrance to several businesses and housing complexes.

Ross Township Manager Douglas Sample said the township had several complaints but they could not help. "If it was a township road, we would have fixed it at this point," said Sample. "Unfortunately, we can't. We can't go onto private property. It would be like going onto a driveway and making repairs."

A few hours after Channel 4 Action News started asking questions, C & D Asphalt showed up to make the repairs. John Donofrio said that Woodhawk employees contracted them to fix Johnanna Drive.

Donofrio said the repair is only temporary, but once spring comes, they will make it permanent.
